Three suspects rob man of calzone, one arrested

TRENTON — A man was arrested Saturday and charged with robbery and weapons offenses for allegedly robbing another man of his calzone over the weekend.

Darren Picott, 20, is charged with robbery, possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Police sources say that around 10 p.m. Saturday a man was walking near the intersection of North Broad and East Hanover Street carrying a calzone when three men approached him and asked if they could have a slice of pizza. The victim replied “no,” police say, and kept walking past them.

When the victim reached Hanover Street, the three suspects approached him from the rear and showed him a handgun. They then reached into the man’s pocket and took $20, according to police. They also took his food, police say, and fled the area.

When Officers Jamar Booker and Christopher Munn responded to the area for a robbery in progress, they spotted Picott, who matched one of the descriptions provided by dispatch. The victim later identified Picott as one of the men who took his food at gunpoint, police say.

The two remaining suspects have yet to be apprehended. One of the men is described as a light-skinned black male, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with black stripes and carrying a black handgun. The other suspect is described as a dark-skinned black male, approximately 5-foot-9-inches tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
